Chemistry L2S3 Profile 4

The organic chemistry module 1 concerns the study of the main classes of organic compounds (organometallic compounds, alcohols, amines, carbonyl derivatives) and their reactivity. Carboxylic acids and derivatives are also covered in the chapters dedicated to the reactivity of organometallics, alcohols and carbonyl derivatives.

A particular effort is given to the understanding of reaction mechanisms based on the basic notions acquired in the first year.

Use of the basic principles of equilibrium thermodynamics to be able to predict whether a reaction is possible, in which direction it is spontaneous and determine from the equilibrium constant the proportions of reactants at equilibrium. Application to homogeneous and heterogeneous equilibria and to the particular cases of precipitation reactions.(acid-base and redox reactions if time permits). Hourly volume: 19,5 h.

In a second part, the kinetic aspects and therefore the speed of reaction will be discussed. Only simple reaction orders will be studied during this year. Hourly volume: 7,5 h .

The first part of the module will consist in presenting generalities on materials: reminder on the states of matter - chemical bonds - quantities associated with the properties of materials (resistivity, transmittance, viscosity, Young's modulus, ...). The notions discussed will be illustrated through polymeric and inorganic materials.

In a second phase, in a reversed classroom, students will discover the different materials through applications (varnish, paint, energy recovery, pollution control...)

The organic chemistry module 2 is a continuation of the organic chemistry module 1. It concerns the deepening of the reactivity of carboxylic acids and derivatives.
